    7. Set aside.
    8. Rice:Soak rice in water for one hour and drain.
    9. Set aside.
    10. Heat the butter in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.

    13. Add in 2 c. of the flavoured water.

    22. Add in 1/4 of the rice mix and 1/4 of the yogurt.

    28. Serve the biryani with the fried onions, coriander and toasted almonds sprinkled on top.
    29. For super crispy onions, put them in a metal strainer over a bowl when they come out of the warm oil. Put the onions still in the strainer (the strainer must be metal to do this) in an oven on low heat till dry somewhat and crispy (cooking time will vary).
    30. Yield is 4 to 6 servings.
